Could you please share with me WHERE on your head the hair loss occurred? Could you estimate how much you lost...in a percentage? Thanks

Every where...and over 50%. That was the estimate of my hair guy, not me.

I'm 3.5 months out from surgery... probably most of my hair loss is thinning all over.... nothing more than that... probably 30% hair loss right now.

White Dove, Can you cover your hair loss up or are you having to use hair fibers, wig, hair peices, etc. Thanks

I lost it from all over my head and probably lost 20% or so.

25% all over, so far . . . . . not a happy camper about it either. my hair's texture is odd and different too . . . but it'll grow back and still happy i chose to get vsg.

Easily 50-60% so far, from all over...I don't have any bald spots; it just looks a lot thinner than it used to. I'm kind of secretly loving it. It's so much sleeker and more manageable now, and I only have to wa**** twice a week!

I had surgery three monthes ago, and I have had some hair loss, mostly around my temples - its not too noticable, and the rest of my hair covers it so I'm not too worried at this point. I am taking a multi viatamin, Biotin, and another micro mineral supplement, so hopefully it won't get worse.

I lost probably about 30% of my hair and it was most mostly on my sides and temple. I haven't lost any in a few months, but I still have a bunch of new hair growth coming in. I have always been a hair person and it wasn't a big deal to me. I chopped my hair into a cute bob and I love my short hair now.
